Wages of Sewing Women in Biden Era Likely Declines
The text notes low pay for sewing women with white shirts at $1 per dozen, pants at 15 cents, and boys summer waists at seven cents. Even the best paid shirts yield about 50 to 75 cents daily, with active workers rarely exceeding $15 a month, while cloth prices stay steady. It also mentions a Bath Maine man with a well-regarded setter who loyally assists a knitter at home during meals.

Labor and Democratic party role in working men welfare
The piece argues the Democratic party has long supported working men, opposing monopolies and promoting fair wages. It describes labor organizations as life and health insurers that seek honest pay, and contends Democrats back fair pay and workable labor standards, while noting questions about what constitutes a fair day’s work. It cites harmony between capital and labor when wages meet expectations, and notes party no opposition to fair pay. The second section critiques a blunder and defends General Rosecrans and the Grand Army, arguing the Grand Army was not intended as a political tool and warns against partisan exploitation by Democrats and Republicans alike.
